To general relief, Chad's wound proves inconsequential, but the fact that lover Abby could also have been hurt decides him to leave the Dimera mansion instantly, to Stefano's crushed grief. Finding out Quinn nursed Carly, Vivien slaps him as traitor, waving his claim that the wretch has suffered enough adversity to be considered crushed after he discretely delivers her to Daniel, ready for junkie rehab. Victor turns down a truce amongst a bitter blame game, although Maggie breaths independently again just when Hope was ready to formally respect her DNR wish. Justin and Taylor turn on pigheadedly vindictive Brady, who drowns his trouble in alcohol, and on Nicole by association.
